Poland is sending Ukraine a large amount of military aid, but does not intend to send its soldiers, since this would be a NATO country entering the war, Polish President Andrzej Duda said.

"I also don't think that Poland should send its soldiers to Ukraine today. This will be the entry of a NATO country into the war, this is a very serious issue, and so far at all international forums in which we participate, the position of NATO countries, including Poland and mine, is very clear," Duda said at a joint press conference with President of the Slovak Republic Peter Pellegrini in Warsaw.

Duda noted that Poland supplies a large amount of equipment and resources to Ukraine, as well as ammunition. According to him, this is "huge assistance worth billions of dollars." In addition, the Polish leader noted that Ukrainian military personnel are being trained in Poland.

"But we do not send our soldiers to Ukraine and we hope that we will never have to send our military to Ukraine to fight there in defense of the Republic of Poland... I hope that there will be no such need, and that Russia will not end up in such a situation," Duda said.

He also emphasized that "Russia cannot win this war, because it would be a huge threat to Europe and the world."

In the context of the upcoming NATO summit in Washington, Andrzej Duda said that he would seek to strengthen the presence of NATO troops on the eastern flank, as well as increase defense spending of the Alliance member countries.
